FARM STYLE MEATLOAF is a recipe I adapted from Kevin Penner’s 1770 House Meatloaf recipe after watching an episode of Ina Garten‘s Barefoot Contessa. I debated on what to name this dish after my changes. I flip flopped between Greenhouse and Farm style before finally landing on farm style. All of the different meats and FRESH herbs and vegetables influenced my final decision for naming it Farm Style. Honestly, I may yet rename it as I think more.

It is similar, yet completely different from my normal meatloaf recipe that I’ve been using for eons! We instantly fell in love with the earthiness of this meatloaf and the savory herb sauce was perfect with mashed potatoes too! Hubby normally loves ketchup or BBQ sauce with meatloaf, but with this flavorful sauce he bypassed it completely!

The key to this recipe is using QUALITY ingredients! Preferably grass fed meats and very FRESH organic ingredients.

These easy chicken marinade recipes are VERY simple to make, freezer-friendly as well as dependable and delicious too! AND they are perfect for ANY cooking method whether it’s baking, slow cooking or grilling.

Remember those burgers you would get that tasted so juicy and flavorful you couldn’t stop eating? These burgers end up tasting JUST like that, an old style drive-in burger with a classic sauce instead of a pre-processed fast food piece of cardboard. One of the things we like best is that i you put bacon on the bottom and the top of this burger it gives you an extra tasty texture.PUB BURGERS with TANGY PUB SAUCE serves 4BURGERS

This recipe is tender, juicy, looks elegant and pairs wonderfully with any green vegetable. It is truly my intention to try AT LEAST 1 recipe a week from my RECIPE SCRAPS. I now have one more scrap of paper gone!

I think I’m almost down to 2½ sides…and I’m FINALLY taking back my life… actually CHASING MY LIFE.

IT IS WHAT IT IS!

I love to cook, read, write, quilt, craft, go antiquing, amateur photography and to learn new things. I’m a Jill of many trades & always have more interests and desires than I have time. LOL I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I love being a homemaker and keeping my family healthy and happy.

As a Christian woman I believe life is all about change and that learning to cope with it as it happens will help you through life. I believe in Murphy’s Law, the Domino Effect, Payback’s a Bitch, and Karma. I also believe that Pay It Forward and living by the Golden Rule go a long way to keep the former from happening to begin with. I believe everything happens for a reason and that life is one big adventure.

I try to see life through rose colored glasses and be as tolerant as possible. My glass is always half full. I am an optimist, extremely positive minded and usually a really upbeat person so anything goes within reason.

I especially love to cook and develop new recipes. I have written a couple of cookbooks for family reunions that I’m working on getting published and have new cook books in the works.
